Police investigating stabbing

A Worcester detective stands in the front entryway of 45 Proctor St. where a man was reported stabbed tonight.

Police tonight are investigating a stabbing in the area of Proctor Street that sent one man to the hospital with a chest wound, according to police scanner reports.

The stabbing was reported about 10:30 p.m. and detectives were summoned to the scene of a two-story apartment building at 45 Proctor St. Their investigation seemed to be focused on an apartment in the basement of the six-unit complex.

A "No Trespassing" sign is visible on the outside of the building, hanging just to the left side of the front entrance.

Proctor Street is on the eastern side of Indian Lake. The street is just a few blocks from the scene of a fatal shooting that occurred at the end of Clason Road, near Indian Lake Park, in October.

In that incident, police said a 27-year-old man was found dead in the parking lot area of the beach, the victim of a gunshot wound to the head.
